i'm finally done with my black & white gallery wall project, and i love the way it turned out! the second i saw this idea on a beautiful mess, i knew it would be the perfect update for our living room. i made a random gallery wall over our couch when we moved in a few years ago, but i was getting kind of sick of looking at the same thing day after day. for this project i chose a collection of family photos that are near and dear to my heart, and every time i look up at them i feel all warm and fuzzy inside. in addition to the gallery wall, i added a few new pillows and a little record station for a complete (mini) living room makeover! here's a peek:
before...
...after!!!
i used a level, tape measure, painters tape, and a little basic math to get the frames perfectly spaced. i learned this painters tape trick from a martha stewart magazine a few years back, and it has been life changing! i made marks on a strip where i wanted the nails to be, then re-used the same strip for the other levels... easy peasy!
i used these frames from target.
here's my cute little record nook. i bought the record holder from urban outfitters, and the rug is from rugs usa! it's really plush and well made... and it only cost $17!!! (in fact, i'm so in love with it that i'm trying to find an excuse to buy more for other areas of the house).
